u/No-Cup-1770

Hey guys! I’m looking for some advice. I’m 9 months postpartum, 3 months post weaning from breastfeeding, 5’3, and 175 lbs. I was 145 pre-pregnancy. I’ve been on a deficit of 1500-1600 cals a day for the past 2 months with minimal results, bouncing from the same 178-175 every week. I went to the OBGYN today to get some tests run and some advice as my period has not returned and my weight has not moved and the doctor basically told me to drink more water and eat healthier. And he told me to only eat 1100-1300 calories a day. Is this really what it will take to lose the weight??? Mind you, I eat really healthy, (protein, fruits, veggies, fiber, etc) drink 3-4 42 oz Stanley cups a day, and exercise 3-4 times a week for 20 minutes. He did order some labs for thyroid, progesterone, testosterone, etc, but he basically acted like my diet was the issue. What do you guys think?
